BEST + WORST Foundations for OILY SKIN!

04:00 0 Comments

Hi Guys,

If you're new to my channel, or my blog, you probably won't know that I have the strangest skin imaginable. When I buy foundations, primers or skin care, I have to take into account the many problems with my skin.

I have oily combination skin, with a super oily t-zone, sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, acne scars, redness on my cheeks and chin, and the occasional blemish. Phew! That is a lot of things that my skin has!

And, because my oiliness is so bad on my t-zone - My face looks like its sweating after a couple of hours - I need to have skin care and foundations which can hold up with my oils.

Now, I've tried so many different types of foundation - I used to have dry skin, so I know a lot about the best and worst foundations for dry skin too - some have worked wonder, some have worked ok, and some have just been plain crap. Cue, my idea for a new video - The Best + Worst Foundations For Oily Skin.

All of these products which I have spoken about in this video are all either '100% Oil Free', 'Matte', or are 'Specifically For Oily Skin'. So, these foundations all promise to keep you matte either all day, or for a certain amount of hours. I put all of these to the test, and this is what I found out - in the video below.

Of course, I HAD to include my holy grail foundation - my Estee Lauder Double Wear - which I actually have in 3 different shades, for different stages of self tan. I am literally obsessed with this foundation, and it keeps me matte ALL DAY! Some foundations were great, and some not so great.

Check out the video to see my opinions on different foundation which worked, and didn't work for me.

Enjoy,

It s super affordable, and from the Drugstore. So, even if you're on a budget, you will be able to purchase this.

My Perfect Nude Lip...

11:08 0 Comments
      


Hi guys,
If you have been watching some of my recent videos (from the last couple of months), you would have seen that the majority of the time, I have been sporting a Nude Lip.

I am slightly obsessed with the Nude Lips now, as I like to wear bold eyes with lashes, and I feel that a nude lip compliments it very well. 

It's taken me a very long time to be able to find the 'perfect' Nude Lip for my skin tone - in Autumn and Winter I'm Porcelain; and am tanned in Spring and Summer. Even when I am tanned, I am still pale (I go up to an N3 in Loreal True Match), so I wanted to find the best shade which compliments both skin tones. 

I have come to find that for us Pale Skin Girlies, we suit a nude shade best when it has a hint of pink to it. And I have found my Perfect Nude Lip products!

Ever since the whole 'Kylie Jenner Lip' thing came out last year, I had wanted to try one of the shades which she uses - Mac Velvet Teddy - but I didn't really want to pay £15 for it, so went on a little scavenger hunt to find something similar. So I went on a little scavenger hunt, and managed to find a shade which is almost identical, but has a smidge more pink to it, and I love it more than Velvet Teddy!


The lip products which I am talking about, are super affordable and are amazing! These are the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 03, and the Essence Lip Liner in 11 - In The Nude.

These products retail for £5.99 for the lipstick, and only £1 for the lipliner. 

The lipstick has a gorgeous scent - smells a little like fruits and chocolate - and the colour it gives off is a super pigmented pinky nude shade. I absolutely love this look, and it goes with every colour of makeup I am wearing.

Whilst wearing this lip combo, I have had so many compliments and so many people asking me which shade I am wearing, and they can't believe that it's so affordable! It also lasts a good few hours on my lips, even with drinking and eating, which I love even more.

So for all of you fair skinned and lightly tanned girlies, this would be an amazing nude lip combo, which will compliment your skin amazingly!

I also have a makeup tutorial using these lip products for you.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

My Skin Secrets: Super Soft & Smooth Lips!

11:26 0 Comments
Hi Guys,
I know it's been a while since I have done one of my Skin Secrets posts, but I've just been super busy! I have chosen this week to show you one of my favourite products I can not live without! 

If you watch my youtube videos, you will know exactly which product I am about to talk about, to create my super soft lips.



The product which I am talking about is the Carmex Lip Balm Tubes. These retail for only £1.65!

Not only are these lip balms the best I have tried - plus my holy grail lip balm - they are also super affordable and smell absolutely stunning! 

For the past year, I have been using the Cherry flavour, but wanted to change it up a little, once the smell was getting a little too strong for me, so I decided to try the Strawberry. When I had first started using the Strawberry, I was a little unsure about if it was making my lips feel as soft, as my lips weren't tingling  - which is what they did with the Cherry version. 

But, since I have been using the Strawberry for the past month, I have to say that this is by far my favourite out of the bunch! 

A great thing about this lip balm is that it contains SPF15! So, even whilst it is super hot outside, your lips will not burn or crack, and you don't need to pop an SPF lip balm or suncream on your lips, as this lip balm has it covered.

Another great aspect of this product, is that you can really feel and see it working. Once I have applied the lip balm, I can smell it straight away - which I love - and it gradually starts to tingle. It's not to the point where it feel like a burning sensation, or like plumping lip gloss - remember those days?. But it feels sort of like a relaxing sensation. Am I strange? 

The thing which made me realise that it was absolutely perfect, was that it is the only lip balm I have used, which can keep up with my chapped lips. If my lips are severely chapped, I just pop this baby on several times a day, and within 2 days, I literally have no dry skin left! My lips get to the point of going numb and feeling as though I have granules of sugar in my lips because of how dry they are, and this literally makes them feel 'baby smooth'.

I did try another lip balm last year, as I purchased quite a few EOS balms as there was a giant hype going around youtube and with celebrities at the time, I decided to stop using Carmex, and switch over to EOS. Big Mistake! They dried out my lips more, and my lips were super numb after a couple of days. Thank goodness I had my Carmex on hand, because they changed my lips back to normal within a couple of days.

So, if you suffer with super chapped lips, or love fragranced lip balms, I would definitely suggest that you try Carmex out! They are super affordable, and are the best around!

My Skin Secrets: Primer for Oily Skin

14:02 0 Comments
Hey guys,

Another week, and another Skincare Secret from me! This week, i am going to be telling you all about my favourite primer for my oily skin.

As you will know, if you watch my youtube videos, I have the strangest skin in the world! I have so many problems - acne, redness, acne-prone, sensitive, dry-combination skin and a super oily forehead!

I have tried so many different products to try to get my oily skin to act like normal skin, and not make my foundations slip off of my forehead. I've tried drugstore and high-end, but have finally managed to find the perfect primer for my oily skin!

The product is the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer and is available from all drugstores for the affordable price of £5.99!


This primer has a non-sticky and slightly moisturising feel, and can be worn underneath makeup or on its own. 

I have noticed that ever since i have started using this primer, my make-up stays on pretty much all day, and I only need to powder once a day - roughly 8 hours after I have applied the foundation. Before I used this primer, my makeup would stay in place for roughly an hour or two, and then i would need to powder, and then powder again a couple of hours after.

I was a little hesitant at first to use this primer, because i have very acne-prone, sensitive skin, and pretty much everything breaks me out. I found that with this, i had no irritation, and I had no extra blemishes at all. 

I can't believe I have found a primer which is super affordable, and keeps my oils at bay all day!

I definitley recommend this to anyone who suffers from any type of oily skin - whether it super oily, or just a little bit oily. This is literally THE BEST primer for oily skin!

Also, I have a giveaway on my channel where you can win this primer. All you have to do is be subscribed to my channel, and comment on the video telling me which your favourite primer and foundation are, plus your skin type. Giveaway closes 30th April 2015, and is open worldwide. (the video below has all of the information and tells you more of what I think about this primer)

My Skin Secrets: Acne Blemish Stick

08:32 0 Comments

Hi guys,

     Welcome to my new weekly blog posts all about my skincare secret weapons. There are some absolutely amazing products that i have found that work amazingly for my skin. Some are makeup products, some are skincare, and some also work amazingly for my hair. 

The first product that I wanted to introduce you to, I haven't spoken about before on my youtube channel or my blog.

It's the Witch Blemish Stick! A great thing about this product is that it is super affordable, and retails for only £2.70. 


The blemish stick is like a gel when you apply it, with a hint of blue-green colour. The smell isn't super strong, and certainly not off-putting. If you run out of product, you simply push up from the bottom, and it lasts a very long time!

Now, I know this isn't a new product - it's been around for years and years. As you will know, I suffer from acne and the majority of products don't care for my super sensitive skin. I use this twice a day - once in the morning and once at night - but states on the packaging it can be used as many times as you like.

I actually found out about how good this product was from both my Mum and my older Sister Kayleigh. They both used to use it when they were suffering from acne in their teens and they swear by it. I can honestly say, I agree 100% and this is an amazing and perfect product for my skin, and I have noticed a really big different in how my skin has been acting. It's helping it get clear without irritating my skin. 

If you're suffering from acne, or even a little blemish, I definitely recommend that you try it out. You won't be disappointed and you will also notice a difference within a day or two. For under £3, you can't lose.

Chloe,
xoxo

My Holy Grail Face Cream!

12:01 0 Comments
As I've mentioned in a few of my blog posts and my videos, my skin type is very annoying a combination of different things.
     For instance, my skin is dry, sensitive and acne prone. And I know there are a lot of people out there who suffer from dry skin, sensitive skin or acne - I just happen to be all 3! So you can only imagine how hard it is for me to find products for my skin that don't actually irritate any of the problems I have. I finally managed to find my Holy Grail that actually worked wonders on my crazy skin!
    
 One of the biggest and hardest products I've had to find to help out my skin, is face cream. I've experienced rashes, bright red skin, and more and more breakouts that I had before I started using the product.

 I've tried many different face creams for quite a few years, to try to find one to match my skin. Ever since I can remember, I have had very dry patches over my face, that no cream seemed to get rid of them. I had medium sized dry patches on each cheek, and my nose was very dry - up to the point where my nose would be flaky and red on most days, so I needed to find a great moisturiser!
     I had tried Nivea cream for my face, and even though its a very rich moisturising cream, it still didn't manage to shift my dry patches. I would put it on over night, and whilst it was on, I had no dry patches, but as soon as I woke up the next morning, my dry patches were back, and hadn't improved. I also tried Aquaeous cream, which my mum said would work wonders, as it was a deep moisturiser. I put this all over my face, and it became itchy as I slept, and would not rub in! It did moisturise my dry patches a little, but they were still quite bad.

     I even tried several foundations specifically for dry skin, to help moisturise as well as cover. this didn't turn out too good for my acne. None had the coverage I needed, and looked very light coverage (even though one said medium/full coverage), so it didn't cover up my acne or help my dry patches. In fact, these foundations actually flared my acne even more. I don't know whether it's the oil or the moisturisers they put in these foundations, but none agreed with dry, sensitive, acne prone my skin. so I felt like there was nothing that would actually work on my face.
   
 That was until I saw that there was a new line of products which came out last year, called Garnier Moisture Match.
     They have 5 different creams for each different skin type - Normal Skin, Normal/Dry Skin, Dull Skin, Combination/Oily Skin, and Dry/Very Dry Skin. I thought, as they have made different moisturisers for specific skin types, this would be great for me! It also helped that this product was on an 'introductory offer' in basically ever store I went to, so they worked out to be roughly £2.50.
     I knew that I definitely needed the tube that was Dry/Very Skin if I wanted this to work, so picked up the box, and read the back to make sure there would be no irritations. A great thing with this line of products, is that they are all colour coded for a different skin type. The Dry/Very Dry was coloured Pink.
     The box said:
  • Texture Created with nourishing but ultra-light oils, its texture is rich but non-greasy. This moisturiser gives you the comfort you need in a flash, without feeling heavy on your skin.
  • Ingredients Enriched with Camellia oil and Mannose
  • Benefits It works straight away, so your skin’s smiling with comfort in no time. The formula helps leave your skin feeling hydrated for up to 24 hours.
  • NON-GREASY
  • EASILY ABSORBED
  • SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Looking at those final 3 points on the front of the box, the product was sold to me. A non greasy formula means that there's no harsh oils that would irritate my acne and flare up more acne (like other creams). Easily Absorbed showed me that I would not be waiting around a long time for the cream to absorb into my skin, so would be quick for me to do my make-up. And Suitable for sensitive skin meant that there was a very minute chance that I would develop an irritation from the product.

So the first morning I put on this product, I noticed that the cream was pretty thick, but had an amazing fragrance of Rose. It wasn't over powering, it was ever so slight, but very pleasant. As soon as I applied this, I noticed I would not need a lot, and managed to put the size of 2 peas on my finger, and it rubbed all the way into my neck and all over my face, with some spare to do my hands too! it did not feel too heavy on my skin, and absorbed within 2-3 minutes, which was amazing! I also felt absolutely NO irritation whilst I was rubbing in the cream.
     Throughout the day, I still had absolutely no problems with this product, plus my foundation didn't budge at all!
     That night when I took my makeup off, my dry patches hadn't completely gone, but there was a slight improvement. There was no irritation, and I didn't feel any extra acne popping up over my face.

After a week, I really noticed a difference in my skin. My dry patches on my nose had fully healed up and my cheeks were finally normal, and my dry nose was a lot better than it was before. It didn't feel as dry, and noticed that my nose wasn't flaking like it had been for over a year previously.
     After 2 weeks, the dryness on my nose was completely gone. There were absolutely no dry patches at all on my face and neck, and they felt greatly moisturised. My acne didn't get any worse, and it still hasn't to this day.
     Now,  my skin is so much better and so much nicer than I could have imagined. I have absolutely no dry patches anywhere on my face or neck, my acne hasn't got any worse (I still get the odd spot and a simple moisturiser wont completely get rid of acne). The best thing of all? I no longer have dry skin. This moisturiser has made me have normal skin, and it feels a lot smoother and healthier than I could ever imagine. I'm in love with this product!

Garnier Moisture Match, you are my Holy Grail Face Cream and I love the wonders you have done for my skin!

Hope you enjoyed this post,
Chloe :) xxx
